Currents, Waves, and Tides | Smithsonian Ocean
WEBDeep Currents. The ocean is connected by a massive circulatory current deep underwater. This planetary current pattern, called the global conveyor belt, slowly moves water around the world—taking 1,000 years to make a complete circuit. It is driven by changes in water temperature and salinity, a characteristic that has scientists refer to the ...

Global Ocean Currents Database | National Centers for …
WEB4 days ago · The Global Ocean Current Database (GOCD) integrates ocean current data from a wide variety of capture methods, resolutions, and formats into a single format (NetCDF) archive. The GOCD is a valuable resource that gives scientists and researchers a comprehensive depiction of global current activity and structure.
Ocean currents - National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
WEBAug 1, 2011 · Deep ocean currents. Differences in water density, resulting from the variability of water temperature (thermo) and salinity (haline), also cause ocean currents. This process is known as thermohaline circulation. In cold regions, such as the North Atlantic Ocean, ocean water loses heat to the atmosphere and becomes cold and dense.
Ocean current - Wikipedia
WEBOcean currents move both horizontally, on scales that can span entire oceans, as well as vertically, with vertical currents (upwelling and downwelling) playing an important role in the movement of nutrients and gases, such as carbon dioxide, between the …
The Major Ocean Currents of the World - Earth How
WEBFrom cold to hot (and vice versa), oceans transport water. The major ocean currents roughly follow a common set of circular paths. While wind drives surface ocean currents from the Coriolis effect, temperature and salt gradients mostly …
